Montpellier shops

Montpellier is a few minutes walk from the centre of Cheltenham and 7-8 minutes from The Park. Originally a Regency village, it has remained largely unchanged since the 19th Century.

It is a popular and lively area that brings together an excellent range of wine bars, restaurants and shops.

The area has some great architectural features including the Caryatids in Montpellier Walk.  The figures are based on those on the Acropolis in Athens and can be found between each shop.

The Caryatids were used in place of  pillars to support richly carved cornices on their heads.
